About reliability: My Crv pooped @ 132k and replaced it with a 72k mile engine and it started leaking/burning oil @ 102k. Engine had a shit load of issues so I found someone who would trade. 98' 4Runner has 260k miles with basic oil change, regular maintenence (major one is timing belt), and still running like a champ. My mom drives it everyday. Bought a brand new 2002 4Runner and did all basic and major maintenance and still running beautifully @ 160k. Maybe it's just me, NEVER had any luck with Honda's. Been through 20+ cars and had 2-3 Hondas that never lasted over a month of ownership.

That is actually great to hear because I like the 4runner in many ways, plus it feels more manly driving in it than a CRV.
